15 Ways To Save Your StartBlaze Pages From Invisibility
Market SegmentationAFFILIATE PROGRAMS...WHO'S REALLY MAKING THE MONEY' By Gillian Tarawhiti Community Training Centre http://www.millionairerippleeffect ..... ...... do to make your pages appear as quickly as possible:
~~~~ Graphics ~~~~
Re-size every image to the size it will appear on the page. Don't use WIDTH and HEIGHT tags in your html to shrink a large image.
Compare the file size when saved as GIF and JPG - the results may surprise you.
For GIF files, experiment with reducing the number of colors in the image.
For JPG files, experiment with different image quality settings.
Save files at a maximum 96 dots per inch - any more is wasted on a monitor.
~~~~ Page Design ~~~~
Include pixel WIDTH and HEIGHT settings in IMG SRC tags.
Give pixel width settings for TABLE elements and HR rules rather than percentages.
Don't use many different background images within TABLE or TD elements.
Try not to nest TABLES within TABLES.
Use embedded (not external) CSS style sheets to minimise the size and frequency of complex FONT descriptions.
Minimize the number of different files making up the page.
Reduce your dependency on outsourced elements such as counters, graphics, javascript, and so on where the speed of the 3rd party service may be suspect.
~~~~ Editing HTML ~~~~
Editors such as FrontPage produce very bloated html files, with a lot of uneccessary duplication. Go through the file with a text editor looking for repetition (most commonly of FONT tags) that can be removed.
Remove any non-essential text such as comments.
StartBlaze pages aren't designed to be indexed by search engines, so you don't need page elements like META keyword and description tags.
Prune and tune your pages until they are mean and lean and you can be confident that every time your page comes out of the StartBlaze database - someone will actually see it.
And making your page *visible* is the first critical step to creating desired actions from StartBlaze. Now you only need to worry about what you say on the page - but that's a subject for another article ...
